Yale Makes Discovery That Will Dramatically Impact Autism Research

By JENN BERNSTEINFoxCT

Researchers at Yale University say they’ve made a discovery that will dramatically impact autism research.

Dr. Stephan Sanders- the first author of the study- says scientists found genetic mutations are linked to the condition. This finding will help researchers pinpoint which genes are responsible for autism.

“For the first time, we have a route forward, an understanding of how to do autism research and find the true biological cause of autism,” said Dr. Sanders.
